Philly.com: Eagles HC Reid anticipated the obvious question: Why
can't L.J. Smith do what 2nd-year TE Brent Celek did Sunday
against the Seahawks? "L.J. attracts so much attention," the
coach said during his day-after news conference following the
Eagles' 26-7 win in Seattle. "Celek comes in and he's kind of an
unknown guy and so there were times they didn't do a great job of
covering him. I'm not taking anything away from him because I
thought he played his heart out." Celek finished with 131 yards on
6 catches, a regular-season franchise record for a TE. Reid said,
"He did a great job. But I know what the obvious question is and
it has nothing to do with L.J.'s play. L.J. is one of those guys
that everybody talks about and the other team is very aware of.
They make sure they have one guy on him at all times and sometimes
2 men." The other obvious question, is whether Celek will start
Sunday against the Giants even if Smith has recovered from the
concussion that kept him out of the Seattle game. "L.J. is the
starter when he comes back," Reid said.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
